Flamethrowers At The Ready

Noel Gallagher has criticised the decision to have a hip-hop act headlining the Glastonbury Festival.
The Oasis guitarist said having rapper Jay-Z at the festival was the reason tickets had not sold out this year.
He said it was "wrong" to have a hip-hop headliner and added that organisers had changed things too much.
There were 100,000 tickets sold for Glastonbury on the first day, but in past years all tickets had sold out in a matter of hours.
Gallagher said: "If it ain't broke don't fix it.
"If you start to break it then people aren't going to go. I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance.
"Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music and even when they throw the odd curve ball in on a Sunday night you go 'Kylie Minogue?'
"I don't know about it. But I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong."
Oasis headlined the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury in 1995 and 2004, with the event selling out on both occasions.
